WNHDE111 disconnects/issues
Recently picked up the WNHDE111 kit and am having a few issues. It hooked up fine, and found each other not problem. I have been able to access the internet with nice speeds from the far bridged e...
I'm getting exactly the same issue with sustained file transfers.
I've got the Intel 4965AGN in Dell Inspiron 1720 and it works fine in B/G mode with my old Linksys G Router.
When I connect in N mode to the Netgear WNHDE111, the connection works fine for a while with light surfing and email etc, but as soon as I try to do a sustained transfer of a large file the Netgear locks up hard (power light off) and will only respond again (even on the wired interface) after a power cycle. Once the Netgear dies I can successfully revert to B/G mode against the Linksys without resetting the Intel adapter or restarting the notebook, so I'm quite sure it's a problem with the Netgear device.
I have the latest firmware in the Netgear and I'm running WPA2-AES encryption as recommended.
This comment concerns me:
"Seize the transfer"? I'd be happy for the transfer to slow down due to a bottleneck, but locking up the Access Point is unacceptable.
I guess I should try to exchange my WNHDE111 also?
